SUMMARY:OPENING DAY: Betty Grisham: A Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day\nBetty Grisham: A Celebration\nSunday\, July 3 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\nView the Museum’s newest exhibition\, Betty Grisham: A Celebration. \nThe Museum is pleased to have this opportunity to present a memorial exhibition of artworks by beloved Huntsville artist and arts advocate Betty Grisham\, who passed away last year at the venerable age of 99. A North Alabama native\, she earned her BA in Fine Art and Education at Montevallo College in 1942\, and MA in Fine Art Education from Columbia University Teachers College in 1945. After teaching and exhibiting in Atlanta and Birmingham\, she settled in Huntsville in 1963\, where she continued to experiment with textiles and the applied arts including needlepoint\, rug making and fabric design. Her unique garments for the commercial market were sold in New York and elsewhere\, and she founded a business designing custom hand painted and printed fabrics for interior design. Grisham also became an important advocate of the Huntsville Art League\, as well as a key supporter and patron of the Huntsville Museum of Art. She retired in the mid 1990s and continued to work from her home studio on paintings\, wall hangings and needlepoints for many years. \nGrisham’s art was often inspired by the colors and shapes of nature\, interpreted through her lively imagination and confident use of abstraction. She easily moved between bold drama and poetic restraint in her works\, and the Museum’s collection of 24 paintings\, textiles\, prints and collages exemplify her broad skill set. Her artworks are uniquely personal\, combining traditional handwork like embroidery and fabric dying with abstracted\, bold patterning. Reflecting upon what inspired her creativity\, the artist once said: “Winter’s fiery sunsets\, I see and enjoy them every day. Then I do drawings that become other works. Things that are growing — nature\, I come back to it more and more. Changes of the seasons and the subtlety of nature inspire my work. I have studied art history and see great value in all periods. Georgia O’Keeffe was an influence. Inspiration comes from many sources.”

SUMMARY:OPENING DAY: A Beautiful Mess: Weavers and Knotters of the Vanguard
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day\nA Beautiful Mess: Weavers and Knotters of the Vanguard\nSunday\, July 24 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\nView the Museum’s newest exhibition\, A Beautiful Mess: Weavers and Knotters of the Vanguard. \nFrom micro artworks the size of your hand to mammoth room-sized installations\, the national roster of women artists in A Beautiful Mess push the boundaries of their textile-based medium. Using rope\, yarn\, clay and wire\, this group of conceptual artists knot and twist their media into sculptures that range from minimal and hyper-organized to utter pandemonium. They explore personal and political ideals — order and chaos to the extreme — and freely break the rules to create their beautiful artworks. Serious about making a strong cultural and intellectual impact\, this group deftly weaves their message into works that demonstrate extraordinary technical skill. \nArtists include Windy Chien\, Kira Dominguez Hultgren\, Kirsten Hassenfeld\, Dana Hemenway\, Dani Lopez\, Hannah Perrine Mode\, Liz Robb\, Katrina Sánchez Standfield\, Meghan Shimek\, Lisa Solomon and Jacqueline Surdell. Organized by The Bedford Gallery\, Walnut Creek\, CA.

SUMMARY:OPENING DAY: Encounters: Vadis Turner
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day\nEncounters: Vadis Turner\nSunday\, July 31 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\nView the Museum’s newest exhibition\, Encounters: Vadis Turner. \nAfter receiving her BFA and MFA at Boston University\, Nashville-born artist Vadis Turner became fascinated by the possibilities presented by traditional handicraft materials to define and contradict conventional gender roles. Her mixed media work began with a debutante gown made out of wax paper from her mother’s kitchen. She continues to create works that transcend the commonplace from its intended function into a vehicle for social commentary. She observes\, “Transforming domestic materials into contemporary art objects bonds me with ancestral forms of craft that determine a woman’s value\, sexual worth and cultural identity. My time\, like generations of women before me\, is judged by what I make with my hands.” \nThrough exhibitions and residencies in France\, the Czech Republic and Japan\, Turner has deepened her vocabulary and expanded her perception of women’s work. She is both reviving and reinventing a function for handmade objects in a society with progressively fewer hands-on activities. Organized by HMA.
